During the Synergy Coalition Summit held April 27-29, 2016 in Portland, Synergy President Gene Meyer presented the 2014-2015 Coalition Champion Award to the Missouri Bankers Association (MBA). This award recognizes individuals and associations who demonstrate outstanding leadership and support in advancing Synergy programs. In presenting the award, Meyer stated, “The MBA has contributed an abundance of energy, time and effort – something that is not in extra supply nowadays – to the objectives and goals of our alliance. They support and work closely with our business partners in the field and are always working to maximize the exposure at numerous internal and external meetings.” Accepting the award on behalf of the Missouri Bankers Association was Mike Noblett, director of member services.
